Julia stared at the wall of runic pictures and the man standing in front of it. There was no need for her to tell him which picture belonged where, and he did it alone in a few minutes.
The pictures were not labeled, yet he managed to recreate the seal without her help. As he stared at the images while leaning back on the chair, she could tell that he saw something that shook his core.
"What is it that you see, Alexie?" she asked while walking closer to him, standing beside him. "I will reward you handsomely, so tell me."
However, the man did not answer and moved away from her toward the pictures. His hand reached out toward them, and his fingers traced the runic lines.
"I need to go there."
This was his sole declaration, and Julia's eyes widened. A few days ago, she tried to seduce him into helping her, but the moment he saw the seal, he wanted to go there himself.
